Movie reviews of Derrick Carter

A well-executed 80’s atmosphere, stellar performances, and an interesting true story to tell...

A decent enough way to kill two hours, but you might as well watch any number of superior crime-thrillers instead.

A watchable, okay-at-best action flick.

Hugely entertaining, dark, and stylish.

A satisfying conclusion to this slasher saga.

Feels like a dull repeat of past beats in the series and pales in comparison to the previous two installments.

Bad acting, dumb characters, little story, and fake out jump scares.

A chore to sit through and doesn’t even bother to wrap up all of its set-up with a believable finale.

The writing is clever. The characters are unique. It’s an all-around entertaining, funny film...

A struggle to get through and makes it seem like an insurmountable task to keep yourself awake for 80 straight minutes.

Not one of Spielberg’s best films, but it remains an entertaining fantasy that’s likely to please both adults and children.

A big failure of a film that somehow isn’t getting an F…thanks to a Isabelle Fuhrman’s good performance.

Recommended for scary movie fans who want a quick handheld horror pick-me-up.

Like a gory horror flick and a cheesy 80’s actioner had a baby together.

Simply a great adventure on the big screen and should satisfy those looking for pure old-fashioned entertainment.

The equivalent of cinematic junk food.

Loaded with amazing imagery, haunting moments, a great synthesizer soundtrack, and some of the most disturbing cinematic scenes in years.

Pretty stupid…but so was the first one.

A silly B-flick that was given A-level spectacle and fun.

Shows that Pixar can still crank out great films, even if those movies happen to be sequels...

A great piece of family entertainment can make children gaze at the big screen with awe, teenagers chuckle at the humor and adults feel like kids at heart.

A step above its mediocre predecessor entry and there’s something to be said for that.

A rare horror sequel that easily surpasses its predecessor in storytelling, characters, and (most importantly) scares!

A bland, disappointing sequel that tries way too hard without ever realizing why the previous two installments worked so well.
